[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, lots of Korean and Mongolian places specialize in letting peeps cook their own meat.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yup, you passed me today omnis, I`m south of Holbrook. Meteor crater is great, isn`t it? I ignored it for years, then a friend visiting wanted to see it and I`m so glad I went.
 
I don`t know quite how to say this, but the skinwalker thing is real, although significantly more serious than the way you`re understanding it just now. Although, they were unlikely to be a threat to you just passing through. But the area he told you not to stop in is my stomping ground. Heh. Glad you`re having a good trip.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Yikes! OK. Now I'm curious. But not so much that I want to encounter.

Sad I missed a f2f opportunity. Dang it. Sorry about that.

Liese, did Hillerman's books get it right? 'cause that's where I got all of my info about stuff like that!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, omnis, no prob. It`s hard on trips like this to figure out schedule and stuff. If you`d been through yesterday I`d have been directly on your path at one of my locations. Today ended up hectic for me.
 
Hillerman has clearly spent a lot of time out here and is close, but no cigar. Interestingly at least one of his books dealing with skinwalkers takes place in what was literally my backyard in New Mexico. It`s the location of part of the Navajo creation story (Changing Woman). That specific mesa was the property next to my house.

I remember that, Liese!

I wonder if part of his only being close and no cigar was intentional. You know, being respectful enough not to share everything?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Ow. I got almost no sleep, and I'm in a ton of pain. Can't take anything for it, because anything that will do anything will also make me kind of loopy, and I've got a phone interview later. And what I really want to do is stay home and do the phone interview from my couch in my pajamas, but they're doing some sort of repairs on my apartment building and the water will be turned off for most of the day, so I can't really just stay around here.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Omnis, good to hear your progress report.

Hil, I hope your day is a good one in spite of the pain.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, lots of Korean and Mongolian places specialize in letting peeps cook their own meat.

I've never been to a Korean BBQ place where the patrons are left completely alone to cook the meat, though - the waiters always hover around you to make sure you're doing it right.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

{{{Hil}}} I hope the pain eases today.

I was up early (for me) this morning doing laundry and clean up, but not the gronk is setting in less than 3 hours later.
